Effects of scheduling order in a collaborative medication scheduling task
Tan, Pei-Hsiu
The importance of self-care management was increasing, posting more responsibility to patients, especially for older adults. Successful self-health management often included taking medication as prescribed with good medication regimen. Taking medication as prescribed requires developing medication plans and prospective memory to execute the plan accordingly. This process would especially post challenges to older adults, who typically took multiple medications because of age-related cognitive declines and inadequate collaboration and communication with providers. The e-MedTable provided a common ground to assist patient-provider collaborative planning by integrating patient’s daily routine and medication information on the tool. The validity and usability of e-Medtable was also tested in previous researches.
The authors used the tool e-MedTable to investigate simulated patient and providers’ problem solving strategies to solve medication scheduling tasks. The first experiment explored users’ interface interactions with e-MedTable by mouse click data. Four medications were presented on the tool from the top to bottom. The results revealed that two thirds of pairs followed the order on the tool from the top to the bottom and one third of pairs used alternative orders to solve the problem.

Integration of automated decision aids with a prototype air traffic control interface in support of time-based surface operations
Riddle, Kenyon
The implementation of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) will necessarily require new types of air traffic control automation to support advanced procedures. In addition, existing forms of automation will need to be enhanced to reduce controller workload in support of these new procedures. It is critical that automated systems, often performing multiple functions, be appropriately designed to support high levels of operator situation awareness and maintain adequate failure performance. Three different versions of a prototype ground controller interface were tested in a simulation of Dallas/Forth-Worth International Airport for their effect on efficiency of surface operations. Two versions featured automated decision aids based on a near to mid-term NextGen equipage assumption and a third served as a baseline with no automated decision aid. The two automated decision aids filled fundamentally different functions within the overall system, with a Temporal Constraint Visualization (TCV) providing a graphical presentation of spatiotemporal constraints on the departure sequence and a Timeline display providing a graphical presentation of a scripted release sequence based on an optimization algorithm. Results indicate that aircraft controlled in the TCV display condition had significantly less taxi delay and stops in the departure queue than the Baseline and Timeline conditions. No significant differences were found between conditions for mean departure time deviation or response time to arrival aircraft. These results indicate that, by appropriately utilizing automation in decision aid design, task performance in complex domains can be improved while allowing the human operator to retain full control of the decision making process. Additional research is warranted to investigate failure mode performance using these decision aids.

Age differences in making credibility judgments of online health information
Liao, Qingzi
Older adults constitute a notable group among the exponentially growing population of online health information consumers. To better support their consumption of high quality health information on the Internet, it is important to understand how older adults make credibility judgments of online health information. For this purpose, I conducted two laboratory studies to explore how the credibility cues in message contents, website features and user reviews, which are widely used for online medication information, could differentially impact younger (19 to 26 years of age) and older adults’ (58 to 80 years of age) credibility judgments. Results from the first experiment showed that older adults, compared to younger ones, were less sensitive to the credibility cues in message contents(as to differentiate between credible ones and non-credible ones), as well as those in the website features. In the second experiment, I tested whether the addition of user reviews could moderate the age differences in credibility judgments. Results showed that user reviews that were consistent with the credibility cues in message contents could more significantly reinforce older adults’ credibility judgments than that of younger adults’. However, when user reviews were inconsistent with the credibility of message contents, older adults seemed to be less swayed than younger adults. In addition, I found that decline in cognitive abilities and lack of Internet experience were two important factors that limit older adults’ ability to correctly judge the credibility of online medication information, while individual’s better health domain knowledge could possibly compensate for older adults’ ability of making correct credibility judgment. Their inexperience with the Internet, and perhaps especially with Web 2.0 applications, was found to be a major factor that influenced their susceptibility to user reviews conveying inconsistent information. These results provided implications for designing health information websites that better support older adults’ credibility judgments.

Mutual information: inferring tie strength and proximity in bipartite social network data with non-metric associations
Dong, Wei
The current study was a first step exploration of a new method that used mutual information-based measures to represent tie strength or proximity between individuals from bipartite social network data with non-metric associations. Unlike network datasets with explicit links between nodes, bipartite networks provide only implicit indications of the probable existence of connections. Therefore, as a measure of the amount of information shared between these two random variables, mutual information can be used to infer social network structure in bipartite network data. A literature review found surprisingly low utilization of mutual information in social network analysis, although it was widely used in other areas of network analysis. Two studies in the current thesis showed that mutual information can be effectively used to infer tie strength and proximity from bipartite social network data with non-metric associations. Other social network analysis techniques such as graph theory-based centrality measures and hierarchical cluster analysis can then be applied to the mutual information-based measures to further investigate the underlying social network structure such as detecting members of subgroups and detecting important nodes that centered the network. Advantages and potential disadvantages of using mutual information-based measures in social network analysis and future directions in ways of improving this method were discussed.
